200 million has been spent on thoroughly investigating the circumstances by order of the British Government. I'd like to know how that puts the Government on a par with the iRA.
The IRA campaign was a deliberate attack that killed and maimed thousands of innocent people, including women and children which lasted for many many years. How you can compare the two is beyond any human comprehension or compassion. But IRA apologists use Bloody Sunday to excuse the atrocities time and again. Shame on you.

Of course not, neither do I think that they acted against orders.
